Obscure All-Stars to Play for the New York Mets: Michael Cuddyer

Michael Cuddyer was an all-around good person on top of his solid 15-year career. His two All-Star appearances came after turning 30 as he played his best during the back end of his career. Cuddyer ended up spending the final season of his career with the New York Mets.

Cuddyer spent the bulk of his career with the Minnesota Twins before heading to the Colorado Rockies to play in another cold climate. He hit .307 with a batting title during his three seasons in the Rocky Mountains, which earned him a two-year, $21 million contract heading into 2015.
